CONTAINER AND SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 4,

Application filed April 30, 1919. Serial No. 293,630.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ammnxir lVINEBURGH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Container and Support, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a combined pack age or container and support and has for an object to provide a support in which part of the supporting means is connected with the container and the remaining part in posit-ion to engage another article.

Another object of the invention is to provide a package and support in which the supporting member is locked to the container, but position-ed in such a manner as to engage another article when in use.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a supporting screw and connection arranged thereon for holding a bottle or other container thereto under normal circumstanccs, but permitting the bottle to be quickly removed.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of part of a building showing an embodiment of the invention applied or mounted ready for use.

Figure 2 is an enlarged side view of the package and support embodying the invention, certain parts being broken away.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1. indicates a building of any kind. which may be provided with a door or windovwcasing 2 to which the complete device 3 may be secured so as to be always in position for use. It is the intention to provide a fire extinguishing fluid in the container 3 and to position the container 23 ata convenient point in any room or any of the rooms of a dwelling or other house. In the drawing part of a building and window have been shown to which the container is secured, but it is to be understood that the container may be used in any building or any other place without departing from the spirit of the invention, as for instance cars, conveyances or" any kind, factories, mines, docks or piers. In order to provide means for holding the container 3 in the desired position at substantially any place and at the same time permit a quick removal thereof and in addition the removal of the stopper so that the contents may be secured easily, a headed supporting member 4 is used which may be an expansion bolt, screw, nail or other support. The screw 4 shown in Figure 2 extends through the eyelet 5 of a screw 6 which is screwed into the cork 7 of the container 3, which container may be a bottle or other receptacle. During the manufacture of the combined container and supportthe bottle 3 is taken and filled with a suitable fire extinguishing fluid and the stopper 7 inserted after which screw 6 is screwed into the stopper or cork member 7. A supporting screw 4 having a head 4' is then inserted through eyelet 5 and a retaining member positioned on the screw 4. This retaining member may be a piece of wood fiber,

cloth or even a rubber band as shown in the drawing. The retaining member 8 acts continually to prevent the screw 4 from becoming lost or disconnected from the eyelet 5 and the container 8. Preferably the retaining member 8 is removed before the screw 4 is forced into the wall as shown in Figure 1. By providing the supporting member 4 the entire arrangement may be connected to the wall at any place provided the wall is wood or similar material designed to receive the screw. In case the wall is concrete or other hard material an expansion bolt may be substituted. However, when the screw 4 or other support is in place the bottle or con tainer 3 is supported thereby through the action of friction on the stopper 7. In case of fire, or in case it should be desired to use the contents of the container 3 said container is grasped and given a sudden pull, or a pull sufiiciently great to cause the same to move off of the support 7 whereupon the contents may be easily secured or poured on a fire as desired- In Figure 2 the device is shown as it appears when placed on sale, whereas in Figure l the device is shown in its ordinary operative position ready for instant use in case of fire. After the contents has been once used the container may, if desired, be refilled and again forced on to the stopper 7, or if preferred a new complete outfit substituted. It will be understood, of course, that the head 4 of the bolt 4, or the head of any other form of support, is sufficiently large to prevent the eyelet 5 from passing thereover, thus causing the container or bottle to be positively held against accidental removal.

What I claim is:

1. A device of the character described support except by pulling the container free from its stopper.

2. A device of the character described comprising a container, a closure therefor engaging the container with suflicient friction to support the container, a supporting member having a non-detachable connection with the closure, and a stationary support to which the said supporting member is sc cured, to thus prevent detachment of the container from the support, except by pulling the container free from the closure.

3. A device of the character described comprising a container, a closure therefor engaging the container with sufiicient friction to support the container, a member securely attached to the closure, a stationary support, and a supporting member seeured to the said support and having a non-detachable connection with the closure carried member whereby to preventdetachment of the container from the support except by pulling the container free from its closure.
